Both disk of my RAID 1 array were failing.I asked #Hetzner to replace them one by one and here I am, with a fully functional server (and #codingfield Mastodon instance) running on 2 shiny new hard-drives!

led-lightbulb stopped working? and you're pissed that you have to throw away 50 leds, when probably most of them still work? no problem, just disassemble it, find the dead leds, rip them out, and replace with somewhat-hopefully-adequate-resistors. let's see how long this lasts...going on two hours and nothing did explode or catch on fire so far. 🤓

How to migrate from one Mastodon server to another without losing followers:

1. Sign up on new server2. On NEW server: Go to Account -> Moving FROM another account3. Enter old account's handle4. On OLD server: Go to Account -> Moving TO another account5. Enter new account's handle and submit

Things I wanna see in 2020: More than 5K servers, more than 5M users, more than 1M monthly active users, more artists and musicians, more journalists, and for more people to use the goddamn #caturday hashtag when posting cats on a saturday
